trod,
Men for Country?Home?and God;
Give us Men! 1 say again?

In the death of John M. Julian,
the press of North Carolina has lost
one of its brightest spirits. He was
a general favorite with the members
o' the North Carolina Press Asso
ciation an' was loved wherever
known. As a sp. aker and writer he
was strong In those qualities that
always make for strength?honesty ;
?traifht-forwan!nessi, open-hearted-.
ness and truth. Ills County and the
8tate are the poorer for his pass- ;
lng.
o
That the principle that the Gov
ernors and othtr officers of our
government, especially those officials
where no constructive statesman
Ship is required, should not be
kept in office too long. Is becoming
more thoroughly grounded in the
minds of thinking people. Is evident
on every hand. Governor Hughes,
of New York, out. of the best gov
ernors any state has had In recent
years, made an address at the New
York State Fair last Friday in which
he boldly comes out for a four year
term for the Governor of his State
and declares that he believes that
he should be ineligible for re-election.
Such a law already prevails in North
Carolina, and a Governor, when in
augurated, can begin his work as
chief executive without being ham
pered with the thought that ho
must look to the building of his fen- '
ces if he Is to succeed himself. The I
wisdom of rotation In office.

Cut Open Mail Sacks Found.
One night several months ago, two
mail sacks were "thrown off at
Smithfield depot from one of the
fast trains which passes here at
night. They were put off on the
opposite side from the depot and
It is thought that a thief grabbed
them as soon as possible and dis
appeared in the darkness. When
the night operator went out for
them they could not be found and
were not heard from until last Sun
day. Mr. Edwards, who runs the
railroad pump at the depot, was
out for a walk last Sunday and found
them near where the midland railroad
crosses the county road about half
a mile from the depot. Vhe sack
which contained papers was not
cut, the cord which fastens the top
of it being the only part of it that
was harmed. The cord was cut and
pulled out. The other was cut
open about half way down the
sack. The mail was badly torn
and scattered over a place of con
siderable size. The work must have
been done by experts who w?re
bunting money.
